The present invention aims to provide a disposable absorbent article improved so that a desired flexibility can be assured and the thickness dimension of the article can be locally reduced without decreasing the absorbent capacity of the article. In the article according to the present invention, at least one of a first end region (16) and a second end region (17), a plurality of first depressed spots (20) concaved from an upper surface side toward a rear surface side to an absorbent layer (13) and a plurality of second depressed spots (37) concaved from the rear surface side toward the upper surface side are arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction (Y) as well as in a transverse direction (X) wherein a part of the first depressed spots (20) and a part of the second depressed spots (37) overlap each other in a thickness direction (Z).本發明的課題係在於提供一種用後即棄式吸收性物品，其既可確保柔軟性，又不會使吸液性降低且至少可將一部分形成較薄者。用以解決課題之手段為，在第1端區域(16)及第2端區域(17)中的至少其中一方，從表面側朝裏面側凹陷並延伸至吸收層(13)之複數個第1壓縮凹部(20)與從吸收層(13)的裏面側朝表面側凹陷的複數個第2壓縮凹部(37)間歇地配置於縱方向(Y)及橫方向(X)，第1壓縮凹部(20)的一部分與第2壓縮凹部(37)的一部分在厚度方向(Z)上相互重疊。
